An out-of-focus photograph of Mertie West bending over the camp stove and cooking on the beach. She is hunched over with her back to the camera and facing to the left. To the left, a camping stove sits on the ground. A few pots sit on the stove top. Mertie holds a small pot in one hand and stirs food in a pot on the stove. Behind her and the stove, a car (partial view) is parked on the beach; it faces towards the background. The beach stretches behind Mertie on the right.
